Default Speeding ticket

I was on 29 north going to I-70 when I noticed cars on the side of the road, they looked abandoned. Then I see this wild man run out from no where onto the shoulder and wave me down. Apparently the cop cars were hidden and the abandoned cars were a lot of people getting pulled over. 74 in a 55 [8D]

$80 later yes it does.

What I've learned: if you can't see every part of the road ahead, don't speed. But speeding is acceptable

on a positive note, I did install my Avantagarde grille and clear cornerslast night after washing the 190. The cop asked if my car had been restored and said it was in great shape.

Yeah first offense, definately don't plan to speed in that area again. I was originally going 82 then slowed a bit when I saw the cars...

If you get points your insurance could go up, that's where you really pay.

Hm! [:@] Why couldn't he transfer his appreciation for your car into a warning? Sorry to hear about the ticket. That ALWAYS stinks![&o]

Really. My car's in great shape, maybe he should have assumed since the outside and inside are nice that I don't abuse it mechanically. Dumb cop... good point
